About this home
Charming Cape Cod on desirable Church Lane in Pikesville!
Nestled on the sought-after Church Lane in Pikesville, this delightful 1940s Cape Cod—once featured in the Baltimore Sun as a “cozy rustic cottage”—beautifully blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates.
The welcoming main level offers an open-concept living and dining area, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The refreshed kitchen features brand-new Whirlpool appliances, while the sunroom—lined with custom built-in bookshelves—creates a bright and versatile space perfect for a reading nook, creative studio, or home office. With its own separate entrance, the sunroom also offers excellent flexibility for professional use.
Upstairs, the home includes a spacious master bedroom with a spa-inspired en-suite, along with a comfortable guest bedroom and bathroom. A finished attic provides additional flexible living space, well-suited for a child’s bedroom, playroom, office, or studio.
The partially finished lower level adds even more potential, featuring thoughtful flagstone flooring throughout, a separate entrance, and a full bath—used as a bedroom, though ideal for an in-law suite, guest quarters, or potential professional or rental opportunity.
Recent improvements include a new roof (2012), brand new siding & modern widened gutters, a new front and two new rear doors, a water heater (3 years ago), and a brand-new central air conditioning unit installed last summer. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the home, and were refinished approximately 10 years ago, and neutral beige blinds throughout were installed four years ago. The living room is anchored by a striking black granite/marble pellet stove fireplace, adding warmth and elegance to this cozy space.
Additional features include a garage with shelving for ample storage and mature landscaping with cherry and magnolia trees. The beautifully maintained yard offers an inviting space for outdoor entertaining. The property is professionally maintained with biannual pest control and duct cleaning every 3-years.
At the rear of the home, just off the mudroom, is a well-maintained split-level deck designed for easy, low-maintenance living. Constructed of durable, no-maintenance materials, it requires no staining—just an occasional power wash to keep it looking its best.
The multi-level layout provides excellent space for both relaxing and entertaining, with distinct areas for dining and lounging. The lower level deck is a perfect space for a future hot tub, should the next owner wish to add one, creating an ideal private retreat right in the backyard.
Optional inclusions may be available, including a treadmill, Peloton bike, snow blower, ride-on lawn mower, power washer, leaf blower and selected furniture items.
